Goodbye plastic, hello HiBAR.

Meet HiBAR’s plastic-free, soap-free solid shampoo bar. These concentrated formulas are a blend of gentle ingredients that deliver beautifully soft, silky and manageable hair.

The unique shape of our solid shampoo bar is designed to fit comfortably in your hand for easy use. But don’t be fooled by the compact size—each shampoo bar lasts as long as two big, bulky bottles of liquid shampoo.

Best of all, HiBAR is the first solid shampoo bar with formulas tailored for specific hair types. For itchy, flaky or touchy scalps, our Soothe Shampoo Bar formula leaves your hair soft and manageable—with white willow bark extract and kukui nut oil to help soothe things down.

Great product

I was wary that the bar shampoo would be hard to use. It works great! Highly recommend as a sustainable alternating to shampoo in a bottle

Love it!

I was a little worried when I bought it that my hair would feel overly dry or kind of sticky because I’ve never used shampoo bars before. I’m really happy to say that it works great and makes my hair super soft and shiny!

Very happy

My family and I have been using this consistently for about 2 years now. I’m very happy with how my healthy hair and scalp. The only drawback is the bar begins to split and break into pieces when you get to the last 10-15% of the bar.

You'll never go back to wasting plastic!!

I initially was worried about using solid bar shampoo when I had used liquid all my life, but HiBAR is really easy to use, and it lathers so well once you get the trick of it, that you don't even notice that you aren't using water based shampoo anymore. It's truly delightful and I feel good about every purchase I make!

HiBAR

Thanks for taking the leap to try plastic-free, Abby! Glad we were able to make the switch a little easier for you.

  • Q: Does it lather?

    A: Yes! Apply HiBAR shampoo directly to your very wet hair, massaging into your scalp and roots until you feel a good lather. (Remember, lathering is not really a measure of how a shampoo is working.) Rinse thoroughly.

  • Q: How long does one HiBAR last?

    A: It really depends on the length and thickness of your hair and how often you wash. We like to be conservative on this, rather than overpromise, so we say that a HiBAR shampoo bar lasts AT LEAST as long as a 16oz bottle, and our conditioners last as long as two 16 oz bottles.

  • Q: Is HIBAR natural?

    Yes, we're using almost entirely plant-based ingredients. We're all about getting rid of nasty chemicals. Plus, we hope to one day be accepted into the most demanding natural stores and co-ops, and so we're formulating our products with that happy far-off day in mind.

  • Q: What does HiBAR smell like?

    We use a blend of essential oils and other plant based ingredients to give HiBAR a gentle citrus aroma. It's just enough to give your shower a refreshing feel, but not so strong that it's going to cling to your hair. NOTE: Because the fragrance is from essential oils, the aroma is strongest when the bar is first removed from the packaging, and will soften as the bar is left out in the open.

  • Q: Will HiBAR turn to mush in my shower?

    No, not if you store it correctly, out of standing water, and away from direct spray from the shower.

  • Q: How do I hold HiBAR?

    Cup the bottom of the bar in the palm of your hand, rest the long edge against the lengths of your fingers, then use your fingertips to guide the bevelled top through your hair.
